August is Appendiceal Cancer Awareness Month🎗️ Until recently, I would probably have skimmed past this. Today, I can’t. Because appendiceal cancer is part of my story. A rare cancer few people know about taught me a language I never wanted to learn: tests, treatments, waiting and results. But it also taught me not to take time for granted. August is still summer: the sea, holidays, friends, dinners and plans for the future. Perhaps they just mean a little more now. I’m sharing this because rare cancers need awareness, research and conversation. And because there is life beyond the diagnosis. 🎗️💛
